TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Malacca government in Malaysia, through its Islamic Religious Department (Jaim) and Islamic Religious Council (Maim), disposed of five tons of floor mats stuffed with papers inscribed with Quranic verses.

Jaim Enforcement Division principal assistant director
Rahimin Bani said the operation to dispose of the sacrilegious mats by burying
them at a special disposal site in Sungai Udang, Malacca, was carried out on
Thursday.

He said the operation, which was completed in two hours,
involved 30 personnel, including representatives from the Malacca Historic City
Council, SWM Environment Sdn Bhd, the Home Ministry, the Malacca Mufti
Department and the Jaim research Department.

"The floor mats were seized from a warehouse belonging
to a trader in Krubong, and were taken to the disposal site using two
lorries," Rahimin told Bernama.

On Dec 1 last year, Jaim seized over 500 floor mats in a
raid on a supplier warehouse in Krubong after complaints from the public.

Images of the floor mats, which were stuffed with papers
with Quranic verses on them, went viral on social media. With the disposal of
five tons of the floor mats, Rahimin said the case is considered solved.
